GDPR: Impacting Multiple Areas of Business

The impact of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, which went into effect in May 2018, is being felt across the globe and across organizations. Intended to protect how personal data is used by organizations, GDPR goes beyond just a traditional customer database. There are issues around how data is used for testing systems; how data is used in marketing campaigns and a person’s ability to opt-out; and, there could be cross-border issues for IT shops with systems in and outside of the European Union.

Secure your data with a focus on Trusted Digital Identities and Breach Alerts.

The GDPR requires companies to notify all the supervisory authority of data breaches—whether malicious or accidental—within 72 hours after discovery of the breach, where feasible, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to individuals. In addition, companies will have to notify individuals without delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to them.

Most security breaches involve the use or abuse of privileged credentials, so it’s time to re-evaluate your security architecture and consider built-in security with a focus on digital identities. This approach supports compliance initiatives like GDPR and can contribute to your business transformation.
